If there were effective ways to more equitably distribute the load with in-place technologies we would already be doing it.
Natural gas plants cost about $500/kw installed, nuclear costs are NOW about $10,500/kw installed and rising. So if you are going to propose grid storage for load following with nuclear how can you justify attacking renewables for needing storage? In the worst case renewables with storage will come in cheaper (as economy of scale savings become manifest during global adoption) than nuclear without storage.
The fact is careful analysis demonstrates nuclear isn't the best use of resources.
